Whoops!

One of the issues with imports, especially Euros, is making sure their transfers are completed. Well, it seems the Texas Tornado jumped the gun with recently acquired Sergei Korostin. Korostin is apparently still under contract with HC Dynamo Moscow and that the Russian Ice Hockey Federation is none too happy he's playing for the Tornado.

To be clear, I'm putting this on Korostin and his agent, and not the Tornado, because they should have taken care of the transfer card before he came over. Of course Alexander Ovechkin came from HC Dynamo as well, so perhaps they (Dynamo) think they can squeeze a little more money out of the Stars in return for a transfer...
